Missionaries of Mother Teresa Charity (Cebu, Philippines)

Hey everyone

This year I am making a difference by participating in Bridge to Brisbane and running for a cause that is close to my heart and who are doing amazing work.

I’m driven by both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Intrinsic motivation is for self challenge, to look after my health and wellbeing, to push through my endurance or stamina, mental resilience and perseverance. This is to turn pain into strength. Knowing the cause of the passing of my Mum is due to heart attack, I am taking responsibility of my own health and I would like to advocate and raise awareness of heart health. Checking how is your heart and overall health is very important.

Extrinsic motivation is to have a ‘why’ greater than myself. I’ve chosen the charity that’s so special to me and my Mama, which is the Missionaries of Mother Teresa of Calcutta Charity (Gasa sa Gugma or Gift of Love).

This is my first time to join Brisbane run, together with my husband whom I couldn’t be more proud of for making a conscious decision of quitting smoking and drinking alcohol to care for his own health, underwent self-awareness and embarking on an ongoing health and wellness journey with me.

Also my first time to connect with the community for a fundraising. Normally, I would do a direct donation. It can’t hurt to try. I acknowledge our shared humanity and that any contributions can make a positive impact.

You can support my efforts and help me reach my fundraising goal by making a secure online donation. You may even leave a message of support on my page – it would be great to read these.

Together we can make a big impact on race day!

Donations made through are secure and will be remitted through to my charity of choice. Please contact or dm me for account details or PayID if preferred.

Thank you so much for your support!
